Kobe isn't going anywhere. The Bulls have a young core but with an aging Wallace, and a lot of money tied up in him, they arn't gonna be heading to the Finals. As for the Pistons losing in the Finals, that was something the NBA did. As i've said for years, the NBA is almost like WWF. The sport is so easily determined by referees. The NBA wanted LeBron James in the finals. They want higher TV ratings. Though it backfired and they had the lowest TV ratings for any NBA Finals. But mark my word, San Antonio will be replaced by the Suns this year in the Finals and the Cavs will be replaced by a large market team. It would help tremendously for the NBA to have higher TV ratings. That is the main way the NBA makes money. It's scripted.
